Why I've decided to come back to the world of blogging...

Hello again everyone.  Honestly, the answer is I've missed it. 

I've been gone from blogging for over a year.  There are lots of reasons I am coming back.  One of the main reasons is my parents are leaving on their second mission in a few short months and I've decided blogging will be the best way for me to keep in touch with stories and pictures while they are gone.  They are serving in the London England temple and Internet will be the best way to share fun times with them and connect while they are away.

Its a great way to keep track of all the experiences we are having as a family. I can covert my blog to a journal later and I know its a great way of keeping a life history. I've been a slacker at taking pictures of my kids so this will also help force me to do that more.

Its a creative outlet in some ways. I have missed having something to do with some of my spare time.  One of my main reasons for coming back is that I want to enjoy life even more and I want to write about the things I do with my kids, my husband, and my spare time.  Knowing I can write about it and share it with family members makes it more real to me.  And who knows... if I know its time for a new blog post then maybe I will do something worthy of writing about... and therefore, be even more productive!

I want to write about my kids, the funny things they say and do, the experiences that make me laugh and enjoy being a mother and wife.  I have learned that I am happiest when I can be creative and active by cooking, crafting, and sharing with others.  I've missed being in contact with some good friends because of my blog.

Let the fun times begin ....
